Monash Bioethics Review
Published by the Centre for Human Bioethics, Monash Bioethics Review is Australia's oldest peer reviewed bioethics journal. Each issue contains several original articles by leading commentators on bioethics. Also included is an Ethics Committee Supplement, featuring original articles and news items on issues of particular interest to members of human research ethics committees. In addition, there are book reviews, news on scientific and legal developments relevant to bioethics, and an Ethics Committee Reflection. Symposia on current bioethical issues are also a regular feature of the journal. Monash Bioethics Review has a wide readership which includes bioethicists, medical practitioners, medical researchers, and ethics committee members.
Monash Bioethics Review is edited by Dr Linda Barclay and Assoc. Prof. Justin Oakley. Editorial advisor is Dr Deborah Zion. (From 2000 until 2008, Deborah co-edited Monash Bioethics Review.)
We are very pleased that, commencing with 2009 issues, Monash Bioethics Review will be published both online and in print by Monash University ePress. Full details will be available here very shortly.
Call for Papers
Special Issue: Industry and public health. Who benefits?
The links between private industry and medicine are increasing, in both research and clinical care. Many of the key cases and discussions do not address the particular issues that arise when private industry interacts with publicly-funded institutions, such as hospitals and universities, and their employees. We are inviting authors to submit manuscripts that address any of the following: an empirical examination of the range of commercial activity now prevalent in public hospitals and universities, and of the opportunities and problems this gives rise to; an analysis of ethical issues; a critical assessment of various regulative possibilities.
All manuscripts submitted for this special issue will be subject to peer-review.
Deadline: August 1st, 2009.
Manuscripts marked ‘special issue’ to be submitted to: MBR.editors@arts.monash.edu.au.
Queries should be directed to: Dr Linda Barclay, Co-editor, Monash Bioethics Review, email Linda.Barclay@arts.monash.edu.au.
